Table 2 Unadjusted and adjusted mortality comparing children transported following prolonged stabilisation from the PCCT (≥2 interventions conducted by the PCCT) versus short stabilisation (< 2 interventions performed by PCCT). Adjusted probabilities are estimated whilst holding other covariates at their average value

From: The effect of care provided by paediatric critical care transport teams on mortality of children transported to paediatric intensive care units in England and Wales: a retrospective cohort study
